hashcat Forum

Hi everyone.

I want to crack using my GPU but I do not know how to enable it.

I have Intel HD Graphics 4000 as my gpu and I have hashcat for windows.


Error:

* Device #1: Intel's OpenCL runtime (GPU only) is currently broken.
             We are waiting for updated OpenCL drivers from Intel.
             You can use --force to override, but do not report related errors.
No devices found/left.


One of the GPU Driver Requirements says:
Intel GPUs on Windows require "OpenCL Driver for Intel Iris and HD Graphics"

I checked Intel's website (here) and I downloaded the Intel® CPU Runtime for OpenCL™ Applications 18.1 for Windows* OS (64bit or 32bit) but I realized it is not for GPU.

I'm quite confused with things like SDK and OpenCL. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

Well, just read the error message...

This means Hashcat recognized your GPU, i.e. your drivers are already correctly set up. The driver is broken because Intel screwed it up, but you can still use it by supplying --force.

Hello,
My hashcat keeps bringing an error "clCreatecontext<>:CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE" whenever i try to run it.
I have installed my video drivers (Intel) but to no avail.
Please assist
